hi GH
a few days back you made a statement
"There is always an author for the code"
Which I dont think is true and maybe introduces
other issues on performativity
one reference of course is dawkins blind
watchmaker argument- and is particularly relevant
to the work of algoricists such as john latham
where the code is self generating and the artist intervenes
in selection rather than design
and with much large code-there are innumerable authors
not an author
and then you go on:
there is a result from running the code.
but like recessive genes, some code may only perform
when there is a confluence of factors that enable its
performance

Hi list,
I think you need to look at the whole coding process. There is
always an author for the code and there is a result from running the
code.
